Three patients with mitochondrial myopathies and progressive external ophthalmoplegia had repeated episodes of respiratory failure requiring assisted ventilation. Studies in these patients and asymptomatic family members, as well as a sporadic case of Kearns-Sayre syndrome, demonstrated markedly depressed ventilatory drive responses to hypoxia. In 2 patients, there was also decreased drive to hypercapnia. The reduced ventilatory drive appears to be due to an altered neural control system that may cause episodic life-threatening hypoventilation occurring especially in relation to surgery, sedation, or intercurrent infection.
